Bretislav Friedrich

Bretislav Friedrich's research revolves around interactions of molecules with and in electric, magnetic, and optical fields and their combinations. The following specific research topics are currently being pursued: (1) supersymmetry and eigensurface topology of molecules in combined electric, magnetic, and optical fields; (2) Stark spectroscopy of molecular complexes created and probed in He nanodroplets; (3) quantum computing with molecules, (3) manipulation of molecules by means of external fields; (4) molecular collisions in fields; (5) spectroscopy and imaging of molecules in fields; (6) cold/slow molecules. Although chiefly theoretical (with a predilection for an analytic approach), the research is closely linked to ongoing experiments. For more, please see Research.
